Christian Olson

You will talk to me, Christian. I work from Clinton, Arkansas, and I’ve spent 9 years getting local businesses found on Google.

The leaks costing Maryland contractors jobsThe five places a Maryland job slips away, in the order they happen, from a homeowner's search in Baltimore or Frederick to your callback.

On a roof in June, one of the three months Maryland logs the most hail. A call to him right now goes to voicemail.

  1. They search and don't find you

    What it costs youMaryland had 14,528 construction businesses in 2023, and 9,065 of them were specialty trade contractors. (Census Bureau, 2023) A homeowner in Baltimore or Gaithersburg calls the few at the top of the map. More of them now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI answers who to call, and a business those answers don't name never makes their list.

    The fixGoogle Maps SEO on your profile and your site, every month, to lift you in local search across the Maryland towns you work. The same work helps get your business named in AI answers, and you see your map rank in the monthly report.

  2. They check your Google profile and pass you over

    What it costs youHomeowners compare Google profiles before they call, and a hailstorm sends a lot of them looking at once. In NOAA's storm records, Baltimore, Washington and St. Mary's counties logged the most hail reports in Maryland. (NOAA Storm Events) A thin profile with old hours, no photos and a handful of reviews gets passed over.

    The fixI optimize your Google Business Profile and get review requests going, so the Maryland homeowners you’ve finished jobs for leave the reviews they keep promising.

  3. They open your website and can't book

    What it costs youA brochure site gets a quick look and no call. A homeowner who can't find your MHIC license or the towns you serve leaves for a contractor who makes booking easy.

    The fixA contractor website built to book: your services, the Maryland towns you serve, your license, your number and a way to book the estimate on every page.

  4. They call and get voicemail

    What it costs youSummer jobs keep you on roofs and in attics, away from the phone. NOAA logged 87 heat and excessive heat entries in Maryland over 2023-2025, most in July and June. (NOAA Storm Events) In a 2025 CallRail survey of 1,000 US consumers, 82% said they'd call a competitor if a business didn't answer.

    The fixWhen you can't pick up on a hot Maryland afternoon, your phone gets answered. The caller's name, address and job get taken down, they get a text back, and the estimate can be booked.

  5. The lead gets lost before you follow up

    What it costs youMaryland storms come in more than one season. NOAA logged 121 winter storm, heavy snow, blizzard and ice storm entries in Maryland over 2023-2025, most in January, February and December. (NOAA Storm Events) The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. (National Hurricane Center) When calls hit your cell, texts land on another phone and forms sit in an inbox nobody checks, leads slip through.

    The fixOne lead list for every call, text and form, with follow-ups that go out for you. It works with the software you already use.

The same Baltimore new-roof job, with me and without me

What Maryland contractors get for $997 a monthThe seven pieces behind that Baltimore new-roof job. The first five follow the homeowner from the search to the booked estimate, and ads and social media bring more homeowners in. I set them up and run them as one system.

Google Maps ranking, and showing up in AI answers

Google Maps SEO on your profile and your site, every month, so homeowners find you when they search your trade in your part of Maryland, whether that's Baltimore, Frederick or Gaithersburg.

  • Local SEO aimed at the keyword homeowners type, like "roofer near me"
  • Search engine optimization for your profile and your site together
  • Your map rank in the monthly report
  • Helps get you named when people ask ChatGPT or Google's AI answers

Nobody honest can promise a ranking, and I don't. What I bring is 9 years of experience and a full set of tools, and that puts the odds well in your favor. You see where you stand every month.

Your Google Business Profile and reviews

NOAA logged 50 hail reports in Maryland in 2025, every one of them an inch or larger. (NOAA Storm Events) After a storm, homeowners check Google profiles before they call, so I set yours up right and keep it current with the work you actually do.

  • Services, service area, hours and contact information filled in
  • Categories that match your trade
  • Photos of your completed jobs, which build trust before the call
  • Review requests that make it easy for happy customers to leave a Google review

A contractor website that books

Not a brochure. A fast site that tells Maryland homeowners what you do, which towns you cover and the license you hold, then gets them to book the estimate.

  • Your services and service area, spelled out
  • Your number and a book button on every page
  • Every form lands on your lead list
  • Live within 7 days of your approval

Maryland requires a Home Improvement Contractor license from the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) for roof repair or replacement on existing homes, with no dollar threshold. Electrical, plumbing and HVACR licenses come from their own state boards, new home builders register with the Attorney General, and Prince George's County runs its own Board of Registration for Building Contractors. Your site shows the one you hold. (Maryland Home Improvement Commission)

Your phone, answered and texted back

When nobody picks up because you're on a roof in July, the call doesn't die in voicemail. It gets answered, the job details get written down, and the caller gets a text from your business.

  • Answers the calls you can't get to
  • Takes the caller's name, address and what the job is
  • Texts the caller back so they don't move on
  • Can book the estimate for you
  • Missed-call text back catches anyone who hangs up first

Behind it is an AI receptionist, set up for your business.

One lead list for every call, text and form

Every lead lands in one place, with the job and where it came from, whether it's a hail call from Washington County or a form from Gaithersburg. Follow-ups go out for you, so nobody falls through the cracks while you're on a job.

  • Calls, texts and website forms on one list
  • Follow-ups for leads that go quiet
  • Open the live list on your phone any time
  • A monthly report: calls, texts, leads and map rank

There's no new software to switch to. The lead list works alongside the programs you already run your business on.

Social media that shows your work

  • Your social media pages set up and kept current
  • Posts of your finished jobs, with photos
  • A social hub page for your business

  1. Start now

    Pick your trade and your Maryland locations, then book the 15-minute call. We go over the part of Maryland you serve and what's costing you calls. If it's a fit, you approve and I start.

  2. Quick onboarding

  3. Calls in 48 hours, all of it in 7 days

    Your calls get answered and texted back within 48 hours. Everything else goes live within 7 days of your approval, or you get your money back.

One plan for Maryland contractors: $997 a month per location.

Everything on this page, in one price you can see before the call. No setup fee, no contract, and the rate you sign at is locked for life.

The price is $997 a month per location and per trade. One location is one address and one trade, with about a 15-mile reach. Each extra location or trade is its own plan at your locked rate, so a contractor with one office in Baltimore and one in Frederick runs two plans.

Run your own numbers

Filled in with $9,611, the average new roof (Angi, 2026). Type what one of your jobs is worth.

$9,611a month in extra jobs, for $997. That's about 10 times what you pay.

What it costs youMiss one job a month, and that's $115,332 a year going to the next contractor.

Built free when you start

You pay nothing for these builds. Each figure is what the build is worth.

  • Website build$2,500
  • Ad landing page$750
  • Google booking page$497
  • Social hub page$297
  • All four builds, free$4,044

Your AI receptionist setup is free too, valued at $1,497.

You won't get a menu of digital marketing add-ons or a sales call that starts at one number and ends at another. Christian Olson has one plan for every contractor business, from a one-truck plumber in Gaithersburg to a general contractor with crews in Baltimore.

Usage note: texts, call minutes, emails and AI use are billed at cost as you use them, in addition to the $997.

If you cancel, the locked rate is gone. Come back later and you pay the current rate.

The guarantees, and what each one covers

  • Calls answered in 48 hours

    Your calls get answered and texted back within 48 hours, while the rest of your system is still being built.

  • Live in 7 days or your money back

    Your system and website go live within 7 days of your approval, or you get your money back. This covers going live. It doesn't cover rankings, and nobody honest can promise you those.

  • No contract

    You stay because it's working. The most you can ever risk is one month.

  • No setup fee

    You pay the monthly price and nothing to get started.

  • Price locked for life

    The rate you sign up at stays the same for as long as you're a client.

  • A free month for each referral

    One free month for each contractor you send who signs and stays 30 days. There's no cap.

Maryland contractors deal with me, not a marketing agency

I'm Christian Olson. I work from Clinton, Arkansas, and set up Maryland contractors remotely, after 9 years helping local businesses get found on Google.

I'm a contractor too. I own a pressure washing, handyman and painting business, so I know the pains contractors deal with every day. I live them myself.

Contractors in Maryland and across the US run the system on this page: roofers, HVAC and plumbing companies, electricians, remodelers, concrete and landscaping crews, up to general contractors and construction companies.

A Maryland contractor who signs up gets me, not an account manager. I build your setup myself. When you need something, you text me, and I'm the one who answers. I don't pitch marketing strategies you can't check: you see your calls, texts, leads and map rank every month.

Word-of-mouth built most Maryland contractors' businesses. A referral in Baltimore or Gaithersburg still looks you up on Google before calling, and that's the part I fix.

Work across a state line too? I also set up contractors in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia.

What Maryland contractors ask before the call

Do you work with contractors anywhere in Maryland?

Yes, anywhere in the state.

Christian Olson works from Clinton, Arkansas, and sets up Maryland contractors remotely, from Baltimore to Frederick and Gaithersburg, the state's three biggest cities in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimates. Each location is one address and one trade, at $997 a month.

How much does contractor marketing cost in Maryland?

$997 a month per location, no setup fee.

Christian Olson charges Maryland contractors the same as every contractor: $997 a month per location and per trade, locked for life. Texts, call minutes, emails and AI use are billed at cost as you use them, in addition to the $997.

Can my website show my MHIC license?

Yes.

Christian Olson puts your Maryland Home Improvement Commission license on your website. Maryland requires that license for roof repair or replacement on existing homes, with no dollar threshold. Electrical, plumbing and HVACR licenses come from their own state boards, and your site shows the one you hold.

Can you cover my whole Maryland service area?

Yes, with more locations.

Christian Olson covers more of Maryland by adding locations, each with its own address and its own plan at your locked rate. One location reaches about 15 miles, so a contractor working both Baltimore and Frederick needs two.

Who answers my phone after a hailstorm?

The AI receptionist, when you can't.

Christian Olson sets up an AI receptionist that picks up, takes the job details, texts the caller back and can book the estimate. NOAA logged 122 hail reports in Maryland over 2023-2025, most in May, June and August.

Is there a contract?

No.

Christian Olson works with no contract, so the most a Maryland contractor can risk is one month. You stay because it's working.

Can you guarantee I rank first in Baltimore?

No.

Christian Olson guarantees your system goes live in 7 days, never a ranking. The Google Maps SEO runs every month, and your monthly report shows your map rank in the Maryland towns you serve, so you can see where you stand.

Will I talk to a person or an agency?

One person, not an agency.

Christian Olson works alone from Clinton, Arkansas, with no account managers. He builds your setup himself, and when you need something, you text him at (501) 365-6845 and he's the one who answers.
